It's pre-school week at Harmony Music Therapy Scotland. This week I am going to share some fun musical activities that you can recreate with your child at home. It will also give you an insight into some of the musical activities that might happen during a typical music therapy session for pre-school children. All activities will be focused on one or more of the following goal elements: To encourage socialisation, To promote cognitive functioning, to facilitate movement and rhythm, to increase communication and interaction, explore instrumental sounds and most importantly to have FUN!!
Today is MOVEMENT MONDAY!!!!
This activity is a song that encourages listening skills, movement and choice making and its called "Dancing in the middle"
LYRICS
___________________(child's name) is dancing in the middle,
___________________ (child's name) is dancing in the middle,
___________________(child's name) is dancing in the middle,
He/ she's going to dance, dance, dance.
He's going to dance, x 6
And now its time to STOP
(pick a new movement eg jumping, stamping, hopping, clapping)
